Facilitating dialogue in the spaces between collapse and control
KMT operates in the grey zones — where the state no longer governs, and no alternative has taken root.
We provide structured, neutral environments where local actors can meet, reflect, and negotiate their path forward — free from mandates, pressure, or predefined outcomes.

Our Areas of Work
Basic Services Facilitation
▸ We enable dialogue on access to essential services such as water, food, and energy, particularly in areas where public institutions have collapsed or are contested.
Civic Protection Dialogues
▸ We support local actors in developing non-militarized responses to protect civilians during prolonged instability.
Peace Process Engineering
▸ We facilitate pre-formal and sensitive dialogues between divided stakeholders, helping them explore peaceful arrangements without prescribing outcomes.
What Makes Us Different
✔ We do not implement
✔ We do not recommend
✔ We do not adopt outcomes
✔ We facilitate structured processes
✔ We safeguard neutrality
✔ We publish reflective knowledge
KMT operates in the grey zones — where neither war nor governance is fully resolved — and provides structural support for dialogue, not prescriptions.
Partners and Collaborations
KMT engages in selective, non-institutional partnerships with:
• UN agencies and multilateral actors
• Bilateral development organizations
• Policy research institutions and strategic think tanks
• Local councils, facilitators, and technical actors across the MENA region
In these settings, KMT does not manage funding or implementation — it leads on process design, facilitation strategy, and contextual alignment.
